Fresh squid — raw, pre-cut tubes and tentacles, ready for the fryer, grill, or stew pot. Sold by the pound.

Squid is one of the most sustainable seafood choices available — fast-reproducing and abundant. Pre-cut into tubes and tentacles, they arrive ready to batter, grill, or braise.

Fried rings take 2 minutes in hot oil. Grilled whole tubes take 3 minutes over high heat. Slow-braised in tomato sauce for 45 minutes yields a completely different, meltingly tender result. Pick your method and commit.
